This Sunday Is Mother's Day In The UK

They say you should learn something new everyday
and today I learned that this coming Sunday,
3/6/2005, is Mother's Day in the UK.

Debbie was kind enough to tell me this when she
sent in the article I have included in this posting.

I must admit I didn't know that Mother's Day was
celebrated on different dates in other countries so
when I read her comment that it was this Sunday
I was confused. But I checked it out and it's true.

So to all those living in countries where Mother's
Day is this Sunday, read the article and enjoy and
Happy Mother's Day.

To those of us who celebrate Mother's Day in May,
read the article and enjoy because even though
our languages are slightly different, I am sure you'll
understand and appreciate it.

======================================
Our moms were always full of good advice when we were
growing up and they had to put up with a lot of crap
(quite literally) from us... So don't forget to thank
your mom for all her good advice this Mother's Day!
Why not give her a call?
Forward this article to 3 or more of your friends to remind
them just how much their moms taught them too.
Together we can make Mother's Day really special
and bring a smile to people's faces.
When We Were Littl'uns...
---------------------------------------
* Of course it stung you - wasps don't like to be stroked.
* No, her face isn't melting. Those are called wrinkles.
* Don't hit your brother while he's sleeping!
* Take that crayon out of your sister's ear!
* No, the man doesn't have a baby in his belly.
* Put that down! You don't know where it's been!
* Where are your clothes?
* Humans don't eat cat food
* Take your feet out of your mouth
* Please don't blow in the dogs ear
* No your sleeve isn't a hanky
* Don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where it's
been
* Stop trying to ride the dog, he doesn't want to play
As We Got Older...
--------------------------------------
* Close your mouth when you're eating
* Stop pulling faces - if the wind changes you'll
stick like it!
* Keep laughing and I'll give you something
to cry about
* Stop picking, it'll go septic.
* What if your friend jumped off a cliff?
Would you do that too?
* Money doesn't grow on trees.
* Somebody's going to end up crying.
* You're going to have somebody's eye out with that!
* Eat those carrots, they're good for your eyes.
You don't see rabbits wearing glasses, do you?
* I'm going to give you until the count of three.
* Wash behind your ears or you'll have potatoes
growing there.
* If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at
all.
* Don't come running to me when you break both your legs!
* Don't run with a lollipop in your mouth.
* Don't sit too close to the television, it'll turn your
eyes square.
* I don't CARE if all the other kids are doing it,
you're not doing it
* Less said, sooner mended
In Our "Terrible" Teens...
--------------------------------------
* Why? Because I said so that's why!
* I would have never talked to MY mother like that!
* Look at me when I'm talking to you.
* I wasn't born yesterday you know.
* After all I've done for you, and this is the
thanks I get?
* You'd better wipe that smile off your face before I do!
* Don't look at me in that tone of voice!
* You can't find it? Well, where did you leave it last?
* I'm not here just for your entertainment.
* If you opened your eyes as wide as your mouth,
you'd be able to find it!
* I don't embarrass you, do I?
* As long as you live under my roof, you'll do as I say.
* I'm not just talking to hear my own voice.
* How can you sleep in an unmade bed?
Now we're older... We find ourselves sometimes too busy to
enjoy the time we used to have with our moms. If you can
get to see her do it. If not be sure to phone! Maybe buy
her a gift... If your mom is no longer with you, I hope this
brings some fun memories.
Send this article to 3 or more friends, bring a smile to
their face and remind them to thank their mom...
